Prescriptives Virtual Matte Oil-Control Makeup Reviews

Having oily skin I bought this foundation and gave it a try. It did cover well but was a little too heavy for me considering I didn't apply very much. I didn't notice any improvement in oil control but the foundation did stay colour true and lasted all day. Great variety in foundation shades too.

I was at my local Macy's and Bloomingdale's today and found out effective 12/31 Prescriptives will be closing. She did say that you can order the product online until they run out. I'm so upset. Virtual Matte Makeup is the only make up that keeps my oil under control... I love how natural it looks. The bad thing about it, they didn't have the shade that I wear so I wasn't able to stock up!!!!

I am about as pale as a person can be. A wonderful woman at perscriptives spent an hour and a half making a costum blend that is Amaizing. It is a perfect match to my skin. She did a color analysis and was able to help me determine what shades would complement my skin. She also showed me many makeup tricks I have never seen before. I highly recomend going to one of their counters before they clos...read moree and get a color analysis done if nothing else. Most people have worked there for years and just want to share their knowledge before it closes.— 5 years, 3 months ago

This is a great product which looks natural, yet lasts. It can be applied with a foundation brush, which will let you use the minimum to build the coverage level which you want. Prescriptives has color matching with a wide range of shades. They also can custom-blend your shade and formulation. Honestly, thus far, this is the best foundation I've used and if I ever need a different formula for anot...read moreher time of year (such as winter), I can easily try them. The products are simply wonderful.— 6 years ago

Despite of all the great reviews, I gave this one a shot. It's just like any other drugstore foundation. I find that my CoverGirl True Blend and Maybelline Mousse Matte appear to look better on my skin than this one. I noticed that my face was shiny and the coverage is a little too heavy it made me look too overdone. I rather stick to my drugstore foundation, plus it's too overpriced.

Like others have said, finding a match for one's specific skin tone can be a hassle. I recently went to the local Macy's and had my skin color analyzed by the woman at the counter, and she recommended this makeup in Fresh Gold. How great! This stuff doesn't smell bad, and it stays on all day really...without looking greasy or fading in color as the time goes by. This is worth paying a little more for! I highly recommend you try it out if you have combo skin or oily skin.

Choosing the right foundation has always been a challenge because of my skin color. It has always been hard to find a match for my yellow/orange skin tone. The makeup I have worn in the past was either too light or too orange. I finally found the makeup that best suits me with this product.

I am Asian and have found that Prescriptives foundations match my skin color better than any other brand I've tried. This foundation goes on smoothly and provides great coverage. I love the way it makes my skin look!
